Hello, reader friends. Following on from yesterday’s post filling you in on all the romantic suspense releases you can look forward to in the first half of 2020, I’m going to give you a run-down on what’s releasing in the thriller, suspense, and mystery genres. While some of these releases will still have an element of romance, they differ from the romantic suspense genre in that the thriller/suspense/mystery plot is the primary focus of the story.

Katie’s TBR and Reading Goals
When it comes to my thriller/suspense/mystery TBR, I have one I’ll die if I don’t read this book, one I’ve been waiting two years to read this book, and two I’d really like to read this if I can squeeze it in books. And they’re listed below in that order.
I also want to read James R. Hannibal’s 2019 release, The Gryphon Heist, which is handy since it’s on our book club’s list for this year!
I also LOVE legal thrillers and am determined to make inroads into Randy Singer and John Grisham’s backlists.
Which thriller/suspense/mysteries will be on your TBR in 2020?
I have been not so patiently awaiting the next Coffey & Hill book from Mike Nappa so I was THRILLED to see book #3 listed. And of course Ronie Kendig…ALWAYS Ronie! 🙂
We’re definitely on the same page when it comes to reading 😉
I read the first two books in the Olivia Newport series and really enjoyed them, I am glad there is another one coming out soon.
